(19:36:10)Adam will be a minute, he's doing the foodstuffs thing
(19:36:21)Is it close enough to game time that I can ask about the cost of Lone Star credentials for one of Fuma's SINs?
(19:36:25)For that matter, I'm going to need to grab something out of the oven in a few minutes, but that shouldn't take but a moment
(19:37:44)Well, the bad news is that I've been unable to find canon guidance on the matter; does anyone have suggestions before I pull a number out of nether regions?
(19:38:59)Obviously it would depend on how long it would take to get, but I think it ought to be 20-30k.
(19:39:04)well I would think it woudl be coverd under the forgey of ID's maby have it the hardest or highest ranking for of forged id?
(19:39:10)More than a level 2 contact but less than a whole new SIN.
(19:40:36)About what level of inspection were you thinking in terms of it holding up under?
(19:40:54)Meanwhile, any actions while we resolve my failure to do effective downtime work?
(19:42:55) Umbrafer rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 2
(19:44:23)Probably sharing the rating of the SIN itself.
(19:48:31)Ok. You were saying that you wanted it quickly; did you put a number to that (or if you didn't, did you want to)?
(19:49:51)I think I said there was an extra five grand in it for my fixer if she got it to me in less than two weeks, when we had about three weeks to go.
(19:55:32)(Did you ever roll Etiquette on the matter, incidentally?)
(19:56:01)(No, I was kinda figuring that since I just went to my fixer, my fixer would be the one rolling Etiquette.)
(19:56:24)(But you still have to Etiquette your fixer?)
(19:58:56)(He has the right of it, if you're waiting for confirmation)
(19:59:14)(I'm waiting for Wave to stop lagging my computer like fucking hell)
(19:59:29)Depending on what browser you're using, that could be a while
(19:59:55)Huh. Usually not so bad, but ah well
(19:59:59) circlmastr rolled 10 6-sided dice: 1 6 2 5 1 3 5 6 6 3
(20:00:02) circlmastr rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 3 5
(20:02:10)Your fixer sends word that there's a connection who can get it to you in four days for fifty-five, though it'll take another four before all the background data works its way into the systems and it comes up to its full rating
(20:02:58)(One sec, I need to switch computers)
(20:05:54) "Fifty five? I could buy a while new SIN for that. How long would that take?"
(20:07:41)"A new SIN, still with the Star?"
(20:09:00) (Oh, let's say rating 8. 40k, SI 1, according to core book.)
(20:09:27)(And the one you were previously looking to add to was rating 6?)
(20:09:34) (Availability of Rating/72 hours, in fact)
(20:10:59)After hashing out the new details of how watertight it should be, there's a short pause: "A hundred twenty, and it'd take at most half a day more."
(20:12:36) (Half a day more than what? I'm on another computer.)
(20:13:16)(More than the four days 'til delivery, four more 'til all the supporting data's firmly in place)
(20:13:25)(It wasn't made clear how the new time is distributed)
(20:14:18) "Alright, let's go with that."
(20:14:58)"Got it." (what level of contact is this again?)
(20:16:55)"I'll give you a call when it's ready. Drop the payment off in the usual place."
(20:17:42)The usual place, as it happens, is a locker a few blocks off a monorail stop.
(20:18:38) "It'll be there within the hour." And Fuma does indeed drop it off: 120k for the SIN plus the promised 5k for timeliness.
(20:20:11)The locker makes a satisfying ka-chunk sound as it swings closed.
(20:21:59)ok now that I ate and can devot my full attention to the task time to see just what they taped in to
(20:22:03) And off Fuma goes to change into a tux and attend a fancy art gallery exhibit.
(20:22:19)Fuma enjoys contrasts :-)
(20:22:51)I figure this happens on Saturday the 21st, so you should receive the SIN sometime between the 25th and 26th and it should be at full rating between the 29th and 30th
(20:23:12) Fuma ponders starting his own exhibit, where one painting is coated with deadly poison, just to make it interesting for the snooty critics.
(20:23:18)ok back to the tap and I log in to the host
(20:23:30)How often do snooty critics touch the paintings?
(20:23:32) Dragcrell rolled 10 6-sided dice: 6 4 4 6 1 2 2 6 5 3
(20:23:40) Dragcrell rolled 3 6-sided dice: 2 1 6
(20:23:43) Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
(20:23:51) It depends on whether they think it's forged. Touching the frame on the other hand...
(20:23:58) Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 4 2 3 3 2 3 5 1 4 3 1 6 5 5 4
(20:24:05) Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
(20:24:39)ok I test to see if its a VM hoste
(20:24:48)(anlize host test
(20:24:53) Dragcrell rolled 10 6-sided dice: 4 1 2 4 6 6 3 3 2 4
(20:24:56) It's especially fun to ponder the idea of painting a dozen or so nude female models. And it won't matter how it actually looks in the end, because True Art Is Incomprehensible.
(20:25:01) Dragcrell rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 1
(20:25:10) Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
(20:25:35)my understanding is you get over the nudity part pretty quickly
(20:26:19) If you're an actual artist, sure. But if you're just doing it for the hell of seeing naked women?
(20:27:12)You probably still get over it quickly, disappointingly
(20:27:29) Then all that's left is to escalate into an orgy.
(20:27:40)Tailored Pheromones might make the difference. Anyway, moving on
(20:28:15) (The whole idea is that Fuma does nothing by half. Hence blowing up half a building - while having sex - just to kill five people.)
(20:29:36)(Specifically, a Bond villain. Or something along those lines.)
(20:29:45)(It's worth remembering that none of us are nice people ;-))
(20:29:51)(Well, maybe Virtualis)
(20:30:02)(You're talking about a kid who kills people with his mind.)
(20:30:11)Ok. The host is not an ultraviolet host, but you are stuck in a virtual machine.
(20:30:18)(Does he? Or does he merely have the potential?)
(20:30:26)I hadn't actually opposed your roll
(20:30:28) Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 6 5 5 6 6 6 4 6 2 5 3 4 5 4
(20:30:38) Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 3 4 1 1 4
(20:30:42)Yeah, what I said before
(20:30:46)(:3 Virt has yet to get hold of any host coneted weaponry he can play with yet)
(20:31:17)ok now for the contol test
(20:31:22) Dragcrell rolled 10 6-sided dice: 5 5 2 1 2 5 1 1 2 2
(20:32:29)(good thign I need only ONE success)
(20:32:58) Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 5 6 1 2 6 5 1 1 6 2 5 6 3 1
(20:33:18) I'm assuming I'm going to get the rank I asked for.
(20:33:53)It wasn't specifically mentioned, but your fixer would probably tell you if it wasn't part of the deal
(20:34:06) Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 4 2 2
(20:34:11)What was your Control channel?
(20:34:45) I recall specifically asking for Sergeant.
(20:35:53)I mean your fixer never said the word "sergeant" when describing what you would get. Your character presumably did say it.
(20:38:06)You're still soundly virtualized.
(20:38:37)Your tally goes up by one.
(20:40:47)ok lets try that again
(20:40:52) Dragcrell rolled 10 6-sided dice: 1 5 1 6 6 3 1 1 2 2
(20:40:57) Dragcrell rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 3
(20:41:30) Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 6 5 4 1 2 5 3 4 1 1 5 3 3 4 4
(20:41:34) Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
(20:42:32)You burst forth into a host horribly styled after Bentham's Panopticon.
(20:42:57)ok lets see what this host is like
(20:43:02) Dragcrell rolled 10 6-sided dice: 3 4 6 6 2 6 6 6 3 3
(20:43:11) Dragcrell rolled 5 6-sided dice: 4 6 5 4 2
(20:43:12)You apparently will
(20:43:16) Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
(20:43:22) Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 5 3 5 4 4 6 4 6 2 1 4 6 3 6 1
(20:43:41) Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 4 6 4 5
(20:43:45) Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
(20:43:48) Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
(20:44:13)(oh thats not good)
(20:44:49)You have three net successes with which to request information; also, Sensors
(20:45:15) Dragcrell rolled 8 6-sided dice: 5 4 2 4 2 6 6 2
(20:45:21) Dragcrell rolled 2 6-sided dice: 2 6
(20:45:25) Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
(20:45:29) Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
(20:46:18)rateing , use, and if there are any conetions
(20:48:24)That would be what, Code/Value and…?
(20:48:58)(Connections are found via Browse, and use has to be inferred from what's present)
(20:50:16)(ok that works ^_^ as long as I know just has nasty this host realy is)
(20:51:42)Well, the first two are Red-12
(20:52:12)You get one subsystem rating, whether this is a virtual host, whether it is an ultraviolet host (maybe?), whether it's a bouncer, or whether it has a vanishing SAN
(20:53:20)mmm is it vanishing san
(20:55:05)There isn't one. Note that you can only find it if it's currently open.
(20:55:51)*nods* ok what did the scaners roll show?
(20:57:48)There's another icon on the system.
(20:58:12)mmmm anilized Icon
(20:58:15) Dragcrell rolled 10 6-sided dice: 1 4 4 3 2 5 1 6 5 3
(20:58:20) Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
(20:58:24) Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
(20:58:28) Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 4 5 2 4 5 3 5 4 6 2 3 3 4 3 1
(20:58:28) Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
(20:58:29) Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 2 3 6 3 1 3 6 2 2 6 2 1 3 1 1
(20:58:37) Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 1 6 2 4
(20:58:44) Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
(20:59:51)Ouch. Unfortunately, the host counters your success.
(21:00:27)#this is a tough nut to crac#
(21:01:11)((If anyone is with Virt, there's no scent of bacon yet.)
(21:01:28)ok lest try that a sceont time
(21:01:33) Dragcrell rolled 10 6-sided dice: 4 6 5 5 2 5 1 3 1 1
(21:01:42) Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
(21:01:44) Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 1 5 5 4 3 6 5 2 4 2 2 6 3 4
(21:01:45) Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 3 5 1 6 4 5 6 2 4 2 6 4 5 6 5
(21:01:52)#Hey, it's just the toughest prison in the UCAS. No biggie.#
(21:01:55) Umbrafer rolled 6 6-sided dice: 2 1 5 1 5 3
(21:02:09)That did the trick
(21:02:31)What was your Sensor rating?
(21:03:04)Yeah, so, it turns out that for Analyze Icon you get to subtract /both/ your Utility (or Channel) and your Sensor rating from the TN
(21:03:33)So actually although the host still added a point to your tally, you got a billion successes on the first try
(21:04:09)Anyway, it's definitely IC.
(21:04:22)can I tell what type?
(21:05:00)Analyze IC is a different operation (without the double-TN-dropping)
(21:05:59)(ya but still only a tn of 5 if I'm tight and its 12-7 for the tn
(21:06:06) Dragcrell rolled 10 6-sided dice: 1 6 1 3 4 3 3 3 4 6
(21:06:14) Dragcrell rolled 2 6-sided dice: 6 6
(21:06:15)(Your TN is based on subsystem rating, not security value)
(21:06:21) Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 5 2 6 4 2 1 6 2 3 6 3 1 6 1
(21:06:23) Dragcrell rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 3
(21:06:24) Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 2 4 4 2 5 1 5 1 4 1 5 3 6 4 3
(21:06:31) Umbrafer rolled 5 6-sided dice: 4 6 3 2 2
(21:06:34) Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
(21:06:58)It's a Probe-11
(21:07:25)(This comes as an absolute shock to everyone who has been watching me roll two handfuls of dice)
(21:07:42)It carries no options or unusual defenses.
(21:07:57)(I think there use to the large dice count when it come's to vit's fun time)
(21:08:38)ok I'll see if I can find any other host conetions
(21:08:44) Dragcrell rolled 10 6-sided dice: 1 3 6 6 6 1 6 6 5 3
(21:08:52) Dragcrell rolled 5 6-sided dice: 1 3 1 1 2
(21:09:43)Huh. Leaving the Probe alone this time?
(21:10:14)oh wait if I can see them there active
(21:11:50)mmmmm I think I'l have that roll be a log out in sted.......I realy dotn wan tto see what this wankter pops if my tally goes up affer crushing the probe
(21:12:58) Umbrafer rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 2 6 2 2 3 2 3 4 3 1 6 2 1 1
(21:13:01) Umbrafer rolled 8 6-sided dice: 6 4 1 2 4 1 6 6
(21:13:08) Umbrafer rolled 4 6-sided dice: 2 6 1 2
(21:13:11) Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
(21:13:14) Umbrafer rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
(21:13:21)......oh dear......
(21:13:35)And you're out.
(21:14:04)#good news bad news what do you want first?#
(21:14:42)#nasty host that had a probe active when I got in#
(21:15:36)#...and the good?#
(21:15:46)insdently I'm moveing away from the tap as fast as my legs can take me
(21:16:26)Shuttle shuttle shuttle
(21:16:32)# I think its safe to say its a major host of some type with the rateing it's running#
(21:17:11)#So it has some good stuff...assuming we can get at it.#
(21:17:21)#Anything we can do to help from the outside?#
(21:18:22)#not realy unless you know of a way to take out IC with out being in the host#
(21:19:06)#mmmm or unless we can find one of there higher ranking secureity deckers and jack his loging info#
(21:20:15)#You know, that's a thought; if you can get the employee records, we could go from there.#
(21:21:02)mmmm once I get back I start on that
(21:21:57) Dragcrell rolled 8 6-sided dice: 3 3 1 1 4 3 5 1
(21:22:10)-_- well nwo the suck rolls start it appers
(21:23:16)You may have less karma pool than the rest of the team, but you still have it if you need it :-)
(21:23:53)ya I think I'll use it
(21:24:24) When do we hear about the smuggling operation, anyway?
(21:24:29)how meny are re-rolls?
(21:24:56)yes that may be the best option after all as breaking that host is going to be any thing but easy
(21:26:04)Well, that's a question. What, very specifically, are you looking for?
(21:26:35)mmm employee records for the prison or a posable location of such a list
(21:30:20)what you guys think?
(21:30:23)(Also, how much information were you hoping would be on the list?)
(21:30:57)(well names and addresses at the lest)
(21:32:18)hell ya All employees even if we can't use the decker idea we might be able to use another :3
(21:32:22)Ok.I figure you'd be rerolling all but one.
(21:32:35) Dragcrell rolled 7 6-sided dice: 4 1 1 4 3 5 5
(21:32:48)(With the number of successes determining the amount of coverage the list you turn up has)
(21:32:55)That brings you up to three.
(21:33:17)I'll see what that turns up for now
(21:34:13)Well, there's good news and bad news
(21:34:27)bad first then the good
(21:34:34)The good news is that you get a number of names; almost two hundred and twenty
(21:35:13)The bad news is that only 50 of them contain role information, and there's only one that might be decker-like in that
(21:35:50)*nods* ok I show the info to every one and see what they all think
(21:36:01)(He's a Network Operations Facilitator, whatever that's supposed to mean.)
(21:37:26)Let's rustle up an address
(21:38:56)There is one listed
(21:42:12)What do you guys think: crack his home network? Infiltration? Something else?
(21:42:35)Wear a disguise made from his skin?
(21:45:04)^_- I dont think that last one would work to well just think of the smell
(21:46:45)mmm well the home network might have what we need but then again depends on how security minded the guy is
(21:48:21) I still endorse the "smuggle mask in through existing criminal channels" option
(21:52:07)yes but if we have the right ppl on the lise of who dose what we can make sure there "ill" the day we do that ^_^
(21:54:43) What does it matter? The criminals do it all the time anyway.
(21:59:15)(On the topic of which, since there seems to be a lack of inspiration regarding the NOF, I believe Mr. Sunshine was waiting to hear back from someone on just such matters in some hours?)
(21:59:15)not with artifacts of this class :/
(21:59:54)(Well, if those hours aren't filling themselves, we can leave them implied for the moment and go to that if you wish)
(22:01:04)You get word bak from your not-a-Contact contact on the matter (your connection? Something like that)
(22:01:51)I think I'm mixing in Dave's bits with Contacts finding not-Contacts
(22:03:01)Anyway, my notes indicate a repetition of the fact that he doesn't have anyone in there anymore, and that loss rates are high, but he can make a go at it.
(22:03:36)loss rates are high
(22:03:43)we can't risk it
(22:05:13)(Do you express this sentiment to your connection?)
(22:05:50)Not quite so bluntly. I'll pay him off, thank him, and advise him that I may have something put through the pipeline.
(22:05:53)But then again, maybe not.
(22:06:45)Ok. He tips an invisible hat and walks off.
(22:08:20) Okay, I'm once again favoring blowing a hole in the prison.
(22:09:04)(How big a hole, and where?)
(22:09:52) I think between the ruthenium and a concealing spirit, Fuma can plant sufficient C4 or C12 to put a large enough hole - somewhere - in the prison so they have to relocate the prisoners.
(22:11:58)well just rember matrix covrage is not garanted
(22:12:22) We could just stuff that hole full of C12 as well.
(22:12:38) Or, we could put explosives in both places and blow them both at once.
(22:12:40)(I still like the idea of shelling Fort Lewis)
(22:13:21)hell I'm for that even
(22:13:42) How does shelling Fort Lewis accomplish anything?
(22:13:58)it'd be pretty interesting
(22:14:04)well I ment the C12 in both places
(22:14:14)(Draw off possible reinforcements?)
(22:14:27)(Give me an opportunity to use all those parts of Rigger 3 that never get used?)
(22:14:37)(Wait, forget I said that second one ;-) )
(22:14:55)(Nah, it's probably doable if you're careful and willing to abandon the launcher)
(22:15:22) So if nobody else has any idea, I say explosives.
(22:15:33) That list V got
(22:15:50) Any female guards in the Awakened ward?
(22:16:01)None with their role listed
(22:16:09)There are some female guards
(22:16:20)None listed as being in the awakened ward
(22:16:36)(Actually, the list you got doesn't have posts at all. Inconvenient.)
(22:16:49) None listed as magicians, then?
(22:17:43)No, either mage status isn't listed or none of the ones with listed roles are mages (though mages could be posted somewhere other than the Awakened Ward)
(22:18:24) Well, if V could do some background research on the female names he got, we might find one who works in the Awakened ward. Then Fuma can seduce her and use her to get access to him.
(22:20:09) It's either that or explosives.
(22:20:14)mmmm good point the liss gives us a starting point in the lest
(22:21:57)how meny names are female
(22:22:29)Not many, about a fifth.
(22:22:47)mmm thats doable I belive
(22:23:07)(38, actually, so a little less)
(22:23:44)ok I'll try and see what I can find on them
(22:23:53) Dragcrell rolled 8 6-sided dice: 4 1 1 5 3 6 1 4
(22:23:58) Dragcrell rolled 1 6-sided die: 3
(22:24:02)What sort of info are you trying to find?
(22:25:44)mmm there roles in the prision and/or address if the list dotn have it
(22:26:21)Only three entries (one apparently female) didn't have addresses listed
(22:26:51)ah good mainly roles then
(22:28:57)Ok. You find a handful; three counselors, eight guards, a full twenty administrative staff, four nurses, one doctor, one technician, and one security management
(22:29:33)^_^b well Fuma should be able to work with that
(22:34:47)Well, my exhaustion level seems well-calibrated; I was just about to call the session when I realized it had ended four minutes ago
(22:34:59)If anyone has last quick actions, now is the time to declare them
(22:35:14)na I'm good for now
(22:35:22)have fun then :3
(22:35:34)Also, I should be less haphazard on the GMing starting in about another eight weeks. My apologies in advance for the intervening period.
